A suggested alternative is calculating body fat percentage through Archimedes' principle using underwater weighing, offering a more precise health indicator, despite being less practical than BMI.

It is precisely this principle from Archimedes that is used when accurately calculating body-fat percentage. A subject is first weighed in normal conditions and then reweighed while sitting ...

Each pontoon weighs about 5 tons, yet it floats on water. The secret lies in Archimedes’ principle. PWD engineer Alok Kumar explained, “When an object is submerged in water, it experiences an ...

"Each pontoon weighs about five tonnes, yet it floats. The secret lies in Archimedes' principle. When an object is submerged in water, it experiences an upward force equal to the weight of the ...

A pontoon weighs about 5 tonnes, yet it floats in water. The reason for this is Archimedes’ principle. When an object is submerged in water, it can withstand a weight equal to the water displaced by ...

“It is simple physics that keeps these heavy iron capsules afloat," said Kumar. It is based on Archimedes’ Principle, which states that the upward buoyant force exerted on a body immersed in a fluid ...

By observing tiny ripples in spacetime called "gravitational waves" that propagate away from colliding black holes, ...

The Pareto Principle is a concept we often find useful. In 1906, Italian economist Vilfredo Pareto analyzed property in Italy and discovered that 80% of the land was owned by 20% of the population.
